So if this is big government tyranny at the local level, what do conservatives want to happen?
Should the bigger state or federal government step in and big foot NYC with a dictate that it cannot ban these drinks?
yeah right...
no the people of that state should kick Bloomberg's ass out of office or run him out on a rail...
man what a concept huh?
They didn't.
So your whining makes no sense.
Anyway..it's his last term..he can't run again.
You're allowed to disagree with something a state or local gov't does without wanting the federal gov't to stomp on them.
The OP compares this to a police state. Isn't it in fact the JOB of the federal government to use its superior powers to prevent a local government from creating a 'police state'?
The OP is also calling this Nazism btw.
If the people want a police state, they'll get it.
Nazism is an extreme exaggeration, bordering on anti-semitic. But then again Hitler and Nazi are terms always tossed around casually on this board, and every time they're used to me it's downplaying what the Nazis did and in turn anti-semitic.
I agree that the size of soft drinks is out of control, that is why I order small sizes, and that is IF I order the soft drink, usually I like water.
Funny how I, without the help of government, control what I eat and drink.
Yeah, but you can't be trusted. We need Big Brother to police our every impulse. It's for our own good!
This shit is outrageous.
Bloomberg is mainly concerned about the Obese poor using up precious dollars in the emergency room. Unlike Jan Brewer..who lets poor people die..Bloomberg can't do that.
So he's doing the next best thing. He's trying to keep them from becoming corpulent husks of flesh.
But don't worry..he will try again..to go back to conservative plan version 1..
Let them die.
Shouldn't the people of a city, through their representatives in that city's government, be able to decide for themselves whether they want this ban or not?
Or do you want Bigger Brother to intervene and tell them what they can or can't do?
Only when it comes to marriage, abortion, religion and in some cases..drugs.
But sugary drinks?
Naw.
The OP is calling this Nazism. I want him to tell us whether the federal government has the right to 'Big Brother' local governments when they are engaging in 'Nazism',
or if the federal government has no business in this.

So the poor cannot "think" for themselves, and they are a "danger" to themselves due to their arguably poor eating habits, so Bloomberg (for their own good) must "control" them so they do not kill themselves with Slurpee's, and cost the rest of "us" money? I think I got it... Trample people's Freedoms to "save" them from themselves.

Look in a mirror for whining and someone going insane, wasn't talking to your dumb ass anyway
Second thread on this.
What..now Conservatives are against "State Rights"?
Or are Conservatives against other Conservatives making a "Nanny State".
They didn't.

No, we're just pointing out how stupid you totalitarians are.

Let me show you my fat ass..
Bloomberg is a big time Corporatist
He's made more money then some 200 million Americans..COMBINED.
And that's the way you zombies LIKE IT.
If you applaud and encourage this disgrace, you have no right to complain when Big Brother comes for you next. Hear that, all you Pro-Abortion and Pro-Gay Marriage folks? Socialists/Progressives really are a confused bunch. They really believe they can have it both ways.
I would categorize this ban under, "I don't support it, but I support the states right to do it".

Sort of like George Soros, Oprah and Algore, huh?
And that's the way you zombies LIKE IT.
I've never used Bloomberg as a source for my ideas, but I notice Soros dictates EXACTLY what you think and post.
Funny dat...
So someone who switched to R so he could beat the incumbent, than later abandoned that party makes him conservative?Ah so..the fact he ran as a Republican.
Just not THIS kind of Nanny regulation, right?....
More fail...
Actions speak volumes...
But your decision..on who is conservative and who isn't..
THAT's what makes a conservative.
Didn't know your ideas held so much sway.
My bad.
Apparently reading comprehension is another FAIL for you...
I said a persons beliefs and ideaologies are what make them a conservative... I didn't say anything about me deciding who is and isn't.... A person's actions and beliefs make it obvious to those who aren't hacks...
I understand why you can't see that....
Got it.
So he doesn't hate minorities and non-christians.
No way he could ever be considered a conservative.
Because to be one..you must be both poltically and socially pure.
Good. Thanks for setting me straight.
If you applaud and encourage this disgrace, you have no right to complain when Big Brother comes for you next. Hear that, all you Pro-Abortion and Pro-Gay Marriage folks? Socialists/Progressives really are a confused bunch. They really believe they can have it both ways.
Except most of the "Big Brother" ideas come from your court.

Point is, you Socialist/Progressive Nanny/Police Staters can't have it both ways. You want Big Brother intervening and controlling this way? Well then that's exactly what you'll get. Can't complain when Big Brother takes away something you support. You want the Nanny/Police State? Big Brother is more than happy to give it to you.
